We’ve been reflecting on the success of our recent round of annual road safety Roadshows across the UK, and came across stories recently concerning the ongoing and worsening traffic gridlock in London throughout this year and what’s predicted for 2015.
The subject of traffic decongestion is one that we covered in some depth during our annual Roadshows, and some of our insights could be useful in highlighting how traffic data collection can be used to reduce traffic gridlock in British cities.
Although the Media tend to focus on traffic congestion and worsening road gridlock issues in London, we should widen this out to cities in general not just specifically our capital city, it’s worth remembering that traffic levels have grown by 84% since 1980 from 172 to 318 billion vehicle miles.
For example, the Eddington report predicts growth of car traffic by 30% (from 2006) to 2025 (source DfT – Roads, Delivering Choice and Reliability)
Another concerning statistic is the cost of congestion, which could waste an extra 22 billion worth of time each year in England and increase costs to businesses by over 10 billion a year.
The Top traffic decongestants that we are able to assist with include:
Continued and wider use of Adaptive Traffic Signal controls such as MOVA and SCOOT:
Safer urban cycling infrastructure, to further promote modal shift:
Smarter Parking:
